SAYS THE BEST LINE
Tells How the Beautiful Things Rise
Flesh and Beautiful from the
Suds Just Like Venus.
(By Margaret Mason. Written for the
United Press.)
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three gowns in a tub,
And what do you think they bef
A linen, a crepon,
A nainsook with lace on;
Wash 'em out, clean, all three.
New York, May 31. The best line
on summer fashions is the wash line.
You are quite sale in clothespiuning
your faith to the divers laundry loving
fabrics that now reveal their unshrink
able and fadeless charms on smart
shop customers. They all rise trium
phant as Venus from the suds and defy
even an amateur wash artiste to rub
her worst.
Time was when a cotton pirnt, a
calico or a seersucker made up the de
spised wash adjunct to milady's ward
robe and was donned only for morning
housework wear. Now you may find
a wash counterpart for almost every
tabric of the loom. Even the exquis
ite -velvet broche of the winter is aped
amazingly by the brocaded cotton
eponge; The pompadour cotton voiles
and French crepes are adorable and
floral bordered organdies, silk mulls
and batistes are sheer delights.
Charming are the embroidered cot-
ton crepes and voiles on which tiny
nosegays are scattered in has relief,
These are found only in the more ex-
pensive imported materials whose un-
shrinkable propensities will act in-
versely on your purse. Home .grown
printed products can be utilized with
quite as stunning results, however.
Only a close inspection will reveal the
difference between printed domestic
bouquets and the embossed imported
flora,
What's the use of fast colors if they
don't runf The fadeless dyes of the
futurist eponge, ratine and wash silks
will easily win in a walk, however. It
is bound to be a highly colored sum
mer and this ought to bring cheer to
the damsel whose sunburned counte
nance has hertofore added the only
vivid color notes to her warm
father
attire. The erstwhile virgin whiteness
of the lacy lingerie gowns are livened
by bright-hued silken girdles and many
are embroidered a la Bulgaria.
Quite the newest and smartest ef
fect is the combination of a very thin
material and a very heavy one. For
example, a voile trimmed in a contrast
ing tone of ratine. Some of the new
fabrics come woven in such combina
tions, particularly the fine French
crepes striped or bordered with ratino.
All shades of blue from peacock to
heavenly are the favorite tones for
your summer frocks. What could be
cooler or more effective when the
mercury begins to rise than a soft old
Hue crepon girded with a silken sash

Linens come in i-erfcct shades this
summer but for the separate skirt (and
no hut weather outfit should be shy
one) it were wiser to stick to the white
or natural colored linen. These are
due to live on and last you sundry
summers, but the way bright hues are
being worked overtime presages a
.-harp drawing of the color line ere an
other summer dawns.
L ac e spells the last word for sum
mer evening gowns. With baby waists,
the laie filming an underslip of white
chnrmeuse or one of pastel pink or
blue, they are youthful, fairylike, but
not for you if you have A woman's
weight of over two hundred pounds.
If you boast svelte-like proportions
ami one of these lace gowns too, it
will be woe to the bachelor beau "who
finds you on a piazza and a moonlight
nifcht. His heart is sure to be snared
in f'hantilly mesh or, pierced with a
Van Pyke point.
Lace anyhow, any kind, and any
where, is much to be desired. From
the top of your lace parasol to the lace
brim of your hat, your lace frock and
lac e hose even down to your shoelace,
all is laced except your waist. She
is ultra smart indeed who even laces
her finger tips.
Madam La Mode knows when her
nose needs attention (sartorial atten
tion, of course). The monchoir of the
moment, or in other words the "han
ky" -that is right up to snuff, must
I have its bit of color as well as the
rest of the costume. Either the nar
row hemstitched edge is of a pastel
tint or crossbars of color brishten un
the entire bit of linen. Cunning little
pink rose buds and azure forget-me-
note embroider sheer little handker-
chiefs, a square of posey for your
nosev.
The very newest handkerchief shows
a monogram bold of color and design,
One in lavender and green with a vio-
lot border is sure to win by a nose,
Dainty ones with tiny hand-rolled hems
cross-stitched in color with an initial
to match are chic enough for the most
fastidious nasal appendage and not to
-e sniffed at.
There never was a time when people
appreciated the real merits of Chamber
lain 's Cough Remedy more than now.
This is shown by the increase in sales
and voluntary testimonials from per-

cough or cold give it a trial and be

ties. For sale by all dealers.

PORTLAND
3al Sheridan Compares the Old-Timers
Like Dempsey with the Moving
Pictures Fighters.
(By Hal Sheridan. Written for the
United Press.)
New York, May 31. When Battling
Nelson coined the terra "cheese cham
pion" and hung it on Ad Wolgast, he
said a mouthful and one that is en
during. In fact, quite a lot of our
present champions are falling all over
themselves in their efforts to grab a
similar title and to those not neces
sarily hypercritical quite a few hunks
of Herkimer are parading around the
country calling themselves "Cham
peen. ' '
Starting at the top, wo first find
that eccentric young person, Luther
McCarty, who gained a lot of notor
iety by beating Jim Flynn and having
the world discover that his wife was
supporting herself and child by wash
ing dishes in a cheap restaurant. Now,
any boxer calling himself a regular
champion because he beat Flynn has
the gall of a Boston burglar. Mc
Carty can not hit and be can not box.
It took him 15 rounds to beat Flynn
into a state of submission and then he
did not knock him out. Little Sam
Langford turned the trick ton seconds
after he and Flynn were sent away,
and Flynn was younger and stronger
than when he met McCarty. Jess Wil
lard and Gunboat Smith are trying to
convince the public that they are the
champions in the heavyweight class,
but who would have the nerve to com
pare Smnli, McCarty, Willard with
Sullivan, Corbctt, Fitzsimmons or even
Joe ChoyiiBkif
We next have before us the middle
weight class Klaus, Papke, McGoorty
and Gibbons. It is almost criminal
libel to mention them in the samo col
umns with Jack Dempsey, Tommy
Ryan, Kid McCoy, and the great Stan
ley Ketchell. Papke has a chicken
heart and the rest of tho gang nover
did and never will belong. '
Of tho welterweights, the least said
the better. As a matter of fact, tho
cafiber of the present day 142-pound-ers
is fo poor that one seldom hears of
a bout between boys of that weight.
Joe Walcott at his test could have
whipped a whole roomful at one sit
ting. In tho lightweight division, Willie
Ritchie seems to bo the best of the
present title holders. Ho is a clean,
clever boxer, has a punch and is game
to the core, but he is not a Cans or
ucvigne or a McAuliffo. He is young
and may some day becomeas great as
his predecessors, but thousands of fight
fans are from Missouri.
Next to the heavyweight title bear
er, the leader in the featherweight
class is the nearest approach to a piece
of cheese. Ho won a doubtful title
from Abe Attel when tho latter was
all in, and has not done anything since.
Some fool critics have been mutty
enough to refer to him as the "Great-

The Capital Journal Invites pub-

Let both sides of all matters

tMMMMMMMMHt
He Defends Concrete.
The Capital Journal,
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
Since your objections to concrete
paving nave oeen given puouciiy m
your newspaper, you, no doubt, as a
fair-minded man, will open your news
paper to a discussion of the subjoot
for the benefit of your readers and
print some points in favor of concreto
paving. '
The following are some of the rea
sons that induce some of our best en
gineers in our oldest communities to
lay concrete paving in preference to
other kinds.
First: Durability.
Second: Low maintenance cost.
Third: Cheapness and availability
of material.
Fourth: Simplicity of construction.
Fifth: Low initial cost.
In support of the first reason I wish
to quote the following telegram from
Detroit, Michigan, the city which you
state is abandoning concrete as pav
ing: "We have a light traveled street in
Detroit built of concrete about six
teen years ago that is Btill in good
condition. Concrete streets in Belle
fontaine, Ohio, eighteen years old.
Woodward Avenue Road, Wayno coun
ty, four years old, with a very heavy
mixed traffic, in first-class condition
Wavne county has bonded for $2,000,-
000 for building roads; $700,000 has
alreadv been spent in concreto roads
and the balance of $1,200,000 will prac
tically all be used for the same pur
pose. Recommend a richer mix than
1, 2, 4; use 1, 1, 1 2-1
"EDWARD N. TUNES."
In Salem vou have several poor con
crete streets, not because conerote is
unsatisfactory as paving, but because
the jobs were improperly done. The
fault was in your weak mix and in
vour poor workmanship. Tho work on
South Commercial street, so ofton
quoted as an example of concrete, was
done by the same gentleman you
prai sed so highly for having done Buch
good work on Fourteenth stroet,
understand, however, that this job was
done during very wot woathor and
that the street was opened to traffic
before the concrete had properly sot
the fault may not all be the contrae
tor's. It's up to the contractor,' in
defense of his work, to ropnlr the few
bad chuck holes on which you lay so
much stress.
Granting, however, that South Com
merciul and F.ast State streets are bin
jobs, improperly mixed, lacking in ce
ment (the most costly ingrodient i
concrete), bad workmanship, done i
lind weather, opened up to traffic too
soon, and all that, I will yet venture
to predict that these streets will still
be giving service years and years after
every other class of pavement in Sa
lem is torn un and replaced. Con
crete grows harder and harder as tim
tinsses and becomes moro and more
permanent. Six-Inch concreto has
six-inch weariniz Bnrfacc, not a one
or two-inch as yon stated, for tho rea
son that the mix is uniform throughoii
the six inches; that is, the two inches
on 'top are no different than tho tw
inches on the bottom.
The maintenance cost of a concrete
pavement is practically nothing on
well-laid street, for the reason as alinv
staled, that the entire thickness of th
concrete is the thicknoss of tho wesr
in surface, and the time when thii
entire thickness is worn through is
long time in tho future. Pavement
made with an asphaltic binder ilisin
tcgrnto long before good concreto be
gins to show any perceptiblo wear.
With the exception of cement, tho
materials used in making concrete aro
naturallv cheaply available hero. A
first-class quality of sand and gravel
is iwsily obtained from the river. The
cement, thanks to your western fo
ment manufacturers' combination, is
much more costly here than In the
Dast. When good materials aro so
easily obtainable locally as along the
Willamette river, cities situated as Sa
lem is should use no other.
In the matter of simplicity of con
struction, I may state that thero is no
simpler paving laid. Any property
owner who will give the matter a very
little study can easily tell when con
crete is placed, whether or not he is
gettir.g the proper mix and the proper
workmanship. Your city engineer's
specifications for concreto are O. K.
patented pavements, are put down un
der specifications made by the con
tractor, nnd tho property owner can
not know whether is Is getting good
material or bad matorial, whether In
paying too much or too little; in
short, he does not know what he ;s
getting or what he is paying for, H.i
simply foots tho bill. Ho would not do
guilty of making such a business tram
action in private matters.
Low initial cost you havo right here
in rnlcm. I neeii not ilwell on tms
point except to say that tho prices paid
hern this year do not compare with the
prices paid heretofore. I havo heard
it said very often recently that the

contractor who laid South Commercial
street boasts of the fact that he got
rich on ono job. If the quality of
ork done by this gentleman recedes
s his prices have receded since a
car ago, the city may expect somo
rotten concrete from him.
In conclusion, let me state that the
people of Salem are continuing to use
ery excellent judgment in selecting
concreto for their pavement, a pave
ment that if properly constructed is
durable and has practically no main
tenance cost, is simple and easy to lay,
and where the materials are easily
available as here, the iuitial cost is
low. Mr. Erickson, city engineer of
C hicago some years ago decidod to test
various kinds of pavement by trying
them side by side. He laid sections
of various classes of pavement, in
cluding concrete, asphaltic and brick,
n one block. After a two years' test
of heavy traffic, he fixed upon con
crete as the best wearing pavement.
Very truly yours,
A PROPERTY OWNER.
